Hi. How do i mine extremely shitty and unpopular altcoins. I'd like to know.


I for example would like to mine this coin -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1879354.0

Thanks. So i should just download that miner, and then connect to this pool for example??

http://coinminers.net/getting_started

Yourminer.exe -a YOUR_COIN_ALGO -o stratum+tcp://coinminers.net:YOUR_COIN_DIFF_PORT -u YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS -p anything


Or?

Thanks for your help.

this should work:

bfgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://coinminers.net:3244 -u youraddress -p x

SHA256 - aka the same algorythm Bitcoin uses, so any "bitcoin" miner should work on it - and it's probably already ASIC dominated.

 you'd have to use a pool specific to that coin though.
